What You Make It................................................................57

What are colleges?Oxford's colleges are at the heart of the Oxford student experience and

make our University a very special place to study and live. There are over 30 colleges and halls and all undergraduate students belong to one. If you come here, you are likely to spend much of your time in your college, particularly in your first year.

A ready-made communityEach of these academic communities are made up of academic and

support staff, and students. All colleges and halls [note: PPHs (Permanent Private Halls) are similar to colleges except they are smaller, offer fewer courses and were founded by particular Christian denominations. Students at PPHs are members of the University just like students at colleges, with access to the same University facilities and activities. End of note] provide

a safe, supportive environment leaving you free to focus on your studies, enjoy time with friends and make the most of the huge opportunities. Colleges run lots of their own clubs and societies and you can always set up your own. Intercollege sport and drama can be a fun way to meet people from other colleges. Students mix freely across colleges and you are welcome to have friends over. You will also meet other people not at your college in your department and at university-wide events.

“College pride is big, but it doesn't get in the way of intercollege friendship. I've never felt so welcomed and liked as I do at my college.” Tamsin

Your college essentials: Porter's lodge (a staffed entrance and reception) Dining hall Lending library (often open 24/7 in term time) Student accommodation Tutors' teaching rooms Common room (JCR) Chapel and music rooms Laundry Green spacesCollege facilities are generally pretty similar but have a look at how

they compare on page 146 [printed edition page number].

Junior Common Rooms (JCR)Every college has their own Junior Common Room or JCR. This

collectively refers to all the undergraduate students in a college. Elected students form the 'JCR' committee which organises lots of events and campaigns on behalf of the students in their college. Confusingly, JCR also refers to a room in college, where you can meet friends, get a cup of coffee and watch TV.

[143]College tutorial teachingTutorials typically take place in your college with your academic tutor(s)

who teach as well as do their own research. They are responsible for assessing applicants and conducting interviews (see page 184 [printed edition page number]). They decide who comes to their college and who they will teach. The other student(s) in your college tutorials will be from your year group, doing the same course as you and will normally be at your college. For more on personalised tutorial teaching see page 14 [printed edition page number].

Wellbeing mattersCollege academic tutors support your academic development but you

can also ask their advice on other things. Lots of other college staff including welfare officers help students settle in and are available to offer guidance on practical or health matters. Current students also actively support students in earlier years, sometimes as part of a college 'family' or as peer supporters trained by the University's Counselling Service. See

pages 9-10 for more [printed edition page number].Location of collegesYou can see from the map (page 192 [printed edition page number])

that the University's colleges make up much of Oxford's city centre. There is no central University campus. A few colleges are slightly further from the centre. Typically, they feel spacious and have large gardens, sometimes running alongside the river. None is more than a twelve minute walk or five minute cycle ride to the main University buildings, such as the Bodleian Libraries. They may also be conveniently near privately rented student accommodation.

Do I pay to live in my college?Students pay for accommodation and food although this is often heavily

subsidised. Costs vary across colleges and are likely to increase annually. See ox.ac.uk/collegesrentsetc. Sometimes it is possible to arrange college accommodation out of term time in which case the cost might change. See also page 182 [printed edition page number] on accommodation and page 186 [printed edition page number] for information on costs and funding support.

Come and Look RoundThe best way to find out about colleges is to come and see them. If you

can make it to an open day (see page 188 [printed edition page number]) then you will also be able to talk to current students and tutors. If you will only have a short time in Oxford, try and shortlist four or five which offer your course before coming. For more on visiting see ox.ac.uk/ugvisit.

There are hundreds of University-wide clubs and societies that students from any college are welcome to join; see pages 8 and 22 [printed edition page numbers].

If you have a question about a college's facilities, please ask them. Colleges will try to accommodate a student's needs, where possible.

[148]

Do you choose?Not exactly. You can put a college's campus code on your UCAS form to

specify a preference but you might still be shortlisted and offered a place by another college. This 'reallocation' helps us ensure that the best candidates, regardless of which college they select, are offered places. In 2017, 35% of successful applicants got an offer from a college they didn't specify on their application.

“Although l didn't actually apply to my college, I have absolutely fallen in love with it and couldn't be happier.” Izzy

How do I decide?Each college is different so you may like to consider their: size and age location – how close to the city centre, your department, the

park, the river, the sports centre accommodation – number of years of college accommodation,

where it is, how much it will cost own grants or other funding facilities – see the college facilities table on pages 146-147

[printed edition page number] access – most colleges have facilities and accommodation for

disabled students; however, given the age of the buildings, some areas of some colleges are not accessible for students with mobility issues. See page 31 [printed edition page number] for further advice.

If at all possible, come to an open day and look round several colleges. This will help you decide what college characteristics and facilities are important to you.

See Oxford SU's 'college suggested: apply.oxfordsu.org/collegesVisit some colleges: ox.ac.uk/ugvisitWatch at www.ox.ac.uk/ collegechoice for more advice on choosing a

college.Is there a college which is best for my course?Colleges do not have specialist subjects as they all excel in all the

courses which they offer and provide a very high standard of teaching.

What if I can’t decide?Then you can make an open application by choosing campus code 9 on

your UCAS application. This will mean your application will be assigned to a college or hall that has relatively fewer applications for your course in the year you apply. In 2017, 18% of applicants made an open application. Tutors have no preference for direct or open applications: they are looking for the best applicants for their course.

Which college is easiest to get into?Competition for places is strong at all our colleges. None of them is easy

to get in to. If any college is particularly over-subscribed, applications may be reallocated and considered by another college. All colleges have signed up to a Common Framework on Admissions which means the same

BalliolBalliol is one of the oldest colleges, and has a large student body. In the

19th century we led the University reforms that resulted in the selection of students solely on academic ability. We are committed to attracting women and men of exceptional potential regardless of their social, cultural or educational background.

Our dynamic student community is drawn from a broad spectrum of schools within the UK, the EU and overseas.

College life is subsidised in many ways; in addition, eligible students can apply for a wide range of maintenance and hardship grants as well as special funds for research and travel. Many prominent figures in public life have graduated from Balliol. The college has a reputation for academic excellence alongside a friendly atmosphere and lively spirit of intellectual debate. The student body is arguably one of the most active in the University.

Balliol is...“...an education that is absolutely top-notch – tutorials are challenging

and enjoyable.” Nicholas“…enhanced immeasurably by the other students... and a stimulating

culture of intellectual debate, which greatly improves the overall learning experience.” Samuel

WorcesterWorcester is set within 26 acres of award-winning gardens and wooded

grounds including a lake and on-site sports fields. It is a happy blend of ancient and modern, with buildings from medieval cottages to self-catering accommodation completed in the last decade. Undergraduates enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities including sport, music and drama, making Worcester a diverse and vibrant academic community.

The college aims to offer accommodation to all undergraduates for three years of their degree. All rooms are on site or no more than 300 metres from the perimeter. Some are in historic buildings, but many have been recently built or refurbished, and over two-thirds are ensuite with access to nearby kitchen facilities. Worcester has a well-deserved reputation for excellent food at low prices and many students choose to eat in the college's dining hall. The college offers a friendly and welcoming environment for students to work and socialise.

Worcester is...“...alongside the academic and extra-curricular side to college life, a

great social scene. With lots of organised and unorganised fun, there's always an opportunity to let your hair down!” Emma

“...having such a tangible sense of support and encouragement - the

staff and students have become my second family.” Hannah“...gardens and pitches that are fantastic places to relax or play sport,

and there is a really friendly vibe between everyone in college.” Stuart“...being able to do many sports, but this doesn't mean you have to do

sport if that's not your thing.” Emma“...like this green oasis at the heart of the city. It has plenty of wide

open space to go for a wander - if you don't mind making way for our ducks!” Francis

LocationThe college entrance is close to the city centre and coach station, and a

10-minute walk from the railway station. Map ref 34.

Wycliffe Hall Permanent Private Hall For students aged 21+ onlyWycliffe is a warm and welcoming evangelical theological college which

places a strong emphasis on Christian community and commitment. Students are encouraged to play an active part in the life and worship of the hall. We aim to equip our students through excellent academic teaching, practical ministry experience and living as part of a vibrant and supportive Christian community.

Wycliffe students and tutors consistently gain the highest academic awards within the University and our alumni have experienced some fantastic success as theologians, apologists and church leaders.

Wycliffe accepts mature students (those aged 21 and over) to study for the BA in Theology and Religion or the BA in Philosophy and Theology, very often with Senior Status (where the student has already completed an undergraduate degree, and may start an Oxford undergraduate degree in its second year). Wycliffe also offers specialist courses for those wishing to train for Christian ministry.

Our student body is delightfully diverse, comprising women and men of many different nationalities and traditions. Such an environment makes for a rich and creative milieu of ideas, and lifelong friendships.

Wycliffe Hall is...“...a supportive and stimulating college as well as great fun, which well

prepared me for my future.” Lydia“...doing it all together in a community: a great place to be and one

which is really authentic.” Hannah

“...playing an important role in my understanding of what it means to 'do theology' in a community.” Alistair

LocationThe hall is a 5-minute walk from the historic centre of Oxford and is

adjacent to the beautiful University Parks. Map ref 35.

Accommodation

On arrivalAll first year students are offered college accommodation either on the

main site of their college or in a nearby college annexe. This means that your neighbours will also be 'freshers' and new to life at Oxford. This accommodation is guaranteed, so you don't need to worry about finding somewhere to live after accepting a place here. All this is organised for you before you arrive.

Outside term timeStudents usually stay in college during time term only, so for three

terms of eight to nine weeks each. However, it may be possible to arrange to stay in college accommodation over the holidays or to stay with friends renting privately. Some people use this time to work, others just enjoy being in Oxford. You may also be able to arrange to store your belongings in your college if you need to.

Other yearsSome students move into private accommodation with friends after

their first year but all colleges offer at least one further year of accommodation. Some offer this for the entire duration of your degree. Regardless of whether you are living in college, your tutorials will normally be in your college and you will still have access to all college facilities (including hot meals and washing machines!) and welfare support.

Types of college accommodationAccommodation does vary across colleges so if you are able to come to

an open day before making an application be sure to have a look round several different colleges. There is a wide range of accommodation, with some having ensuite bathrooms, some with shared kitchens and some with shared living space but no one has to share a bedroom.

Living outMoving into private accommodation can be a good option if you want to

live with friends from other colleges. For many people, this is the perfect way to experience independent living for the first time. It does tend to be more expensive as you normally pay for the house during the holidays as well as term time. The University's Accommodation Office can help find suitable places to rent. Rental accommodation is rarely more than a few minutes from the city centre.

Can I commute?All undergraduates are required to live within six miles of central Oxford

or 25 miles if living with your parent(s) or guardian(s). There are some exceptions to this but overall Oxford believes that this adds to the strong community feel within every college.
